"It looks like Gohan will be busy for a little while." Yurin spoke as she watched the young man leave the warehouse, arms full as he carried out a friend. Tarble sat on the edge of the lookout, his legs lightly dangled over the end as he laid back and sighed slightly. "Your disappointed?"

"No… I feel like I have been pressuring the poor boy. No, feel like is to disconnect what I have been doing. I have been pressuring him." The saiyan looked into the sky, small wisps of cloud overhead. He had felt like he was beginning to hit a rut himself, and the time of peace was lowering his need to train. Vegeta wanting to be stronger than him, and acting as a measuring stick for his own brother was no longer enough. Goku seemed to be insistent in getting better for his own need to get better, and for unseen opponent. Tarble needed a goal though, unknown threats were just that… unknown.

"Something else is on your mind then? You seem… bored seems to be the best word." Yurin's gaze turned from Gohan and to her husband, his tail lightly tapped to the white tile. The seven years since Cell seemed to be to long for him. No one threatened the world, and Tarble could visibly be seen letting it affect his mind.

"Maybe it is… even the chamber is starting to feel like nothing more then a mild inconvenience." An audible sigh as the saiyan sat himself up. He could feel his own body call for the feeling of a life or death battle.

"Maybe we can help?" A voice appeared behind the two of them, Yurin and Tarble's first reaction was to prepare for battle. But as they shifted ready for fight, the were instead face to face with old friends.

"Supreme Kai? Kabito?" Yurin was the first to respond. "I never expected you two down in mortal realms, much less earth."

"Normally we would not, but something has taken our attention this way. But it is good to see you two are healthy." Supreme Kai said with a faint smile. "I am surprised just how strong you have gotten; you might even match me in your Super Saiyan form."

"You mentioned helping me? I suspect you mean in training." Tarble said, remembering the training he did before was not excessively exerting until Supreme Kai did get involved. But he sensed the Kai had not grown more powerful from what he could tell.

"Well, sometime ago I felt a power that overcame my own strength… and not by a small margin." Supreme Kai's eyes tightened as they focused on Tarble. "But it was also a power well beyond your control. I may not be stronger, but I may have a method that could help you reclaim that power as your own." The Kai looked to the human wife. "Unfortunately, it requires Isolation… so much so that even my presence is too much."

"So, train myself alone, for the chance to make that power my own. And let me guess, this will take me a millennium."

"That is truly up to you in this training, and how much willpower you have. We don't come just to offer this training." Kabito spoke, the straight-faced Kai looked down from his towering body. "A threat will make itself known in your lifetime; we wish to simply help allow you to save your world when it comes to the threat."

"It sounds like you know something is coming. Can we stop it before it becomes a threat?" Yurin's hand placed to her husband's shoulder as she grew worried by the thought of a threat coming.

"Unfortunately, we have already attempted what we could to stop it. The threat hides now, waiting for the chance to reclaim its power. We cannot locate it, and now must just prepare for when it shows itself." Kabito spoke again, his face grimacing in his own disappointment.

"What do you say? I offer a chance for you to reach a level never reached by your people… a level that only you may be able to claim." Supreme Kai offered his hand out to Tarble.

The saiyan looked to the hand, an offer to possibly get him stronger. A threat that made the two Kais worry, an unknown threat that made such powerfully natural beings fear. He could not prepare at earth for that. But alone gone for who knows how long. To be used as a weapon for the Kais when the enemy showed itself. Leave his son while he was showing potential to reach the same power he had already and possibly greater levels as well. Would it be better to do lighter training but prepare more fighters… or would it be right for him to do training that make him a pillar to the others. His saiyan blood demanded him to take the offered hand, but the side of him that wished to be with his family recoiled. His feet felt unsteady, unsure what move to make.

"Go." Yurin spoke so sudden that Tarble's muscles twitched at the same time and made him jump. "You wanted to do something interesting. You will be back soon, after all. Your pretty willful when you want to be. Just remember what you have to return to, and I am sure you will master his task in a week." She said giggling and kissed her husband's cheek, making him blush lightly as she pushed him forward.

"I will miss you…" Tarble turned to face her. She simply smiled and said "You better." Before she vanished from his sight. Instead a world of red, deep red, the deepest crimson he could imagine. He felt the world pull him down, his feet sank into the soft dirt as the grass curled around him as if to trap him.

"Welcome to Muladhara, The world of roots and foundation." Supreme Kai said with a smile. "It is here you will train tell you get control. Here you will survive, and find stability." Already seeing the world take affect as Tarble bent over in pain, his face and body growing as it was forced into the Oozaru form already. "It is only night, and this world already produced over five hundred times the needed Bultz Waves your kind need to transform… when it becomes day that amount will increase three times more." His instruction was overwhelmed by the roar of Tarble in a frenzy. "I do hope you master it soon… we will need you very soon." The Kai vanished, leaving Tarble on the red world. Howling to the sky as beasts with the need to survive came out, seeing a giant meal for them.

-Saiya Squad-

It had been about a week, Videl had mastered summoning Ki much faster than the others but slowly Sharpner and Erasa were catching up. They had taken their training to Gohan's house outside the city, simply to keep their little super hero group hidden from even Videl's father. The champ's daughter already working on floating and flying a bit, but the small space wouldn't allow them to really get use to flight. One weekend day Gohan had them go to his father's old home. Since Raditz had moved out and to West City, the house had not been used for some time. But a five-hour trip for the four of them, for a day of more intense Ki training was worth it. Allowing the other two to float and try take flight a bit more, and Videl showing a lot more skill.

A week before the Budokai, the Saiya Squad made its official appearance. Great Saiyaman in his green and black, Saiyaman Gold in his gold and black, And Saiyaman Crimson in her red and black. All three wore masks to hide their identity, Gohan suggesting this to keep their families from being targets. The three of them proved to be an effective team, and bring crime down in just the week. The high of taking down villainous acting entities and still gaining strength as they trained still. Mr. Satan finding the deplorable acts of the vigilante squad unforgivable and is waiting for the day they show their true colors and that the call for Videl comes in to wallop them, if only to show that his daughter is the true champion of justice in Satan City.

Bulma seeing the Saiya Sqaud, questioning Gohan about it. She helped him let it slip and admit that he was the Great Saiyaman. She then asks to see the suit made for him, and realized it was no more than simple fabrics that had a nice design. Gohan admitting that a high school friend and did well in his mind. Bulma remarks that she will work on something so that there is a little more protection, at least for the other two as even she could tell that they were no where near as strong as him. She goes into the lab to work on the 'mark 2 suits' for Crimson and Gold.
